Curious About Bonus Pay? Here’s What the Top Manufacturing Jobs Offer

Bonuses can make or break a manufacturing leader’s salary—or at least provide a cushion in the good years to pay off debt, save for retirement or invest in a small Maldivian island.

Overall, the average lagniappe was $29,200.

Here are the job categories in our survey that had the highest percentage of respondents sharing information on bonus pay, and what these particularly performance-driven people took home.
